Joseph F BaidenABOUT THE AUTHOR; Joseph F. Baiden I was born and grew up in West Africa, which is where I gained my knowledge of and love for African culture. I am proud to share both through my stories. My goal is to help readers understand slavery from an Africanperspective, using characters, some fictional and some historical, to tell the story. This book was written to answer questions for those who are wondering about their African ancestors. Mainly, I would like to keep the history of human slavery alive in people's minds so that we can avoid repeating our past mistakes. This novel exists to create awareness around the origins of slavery in Africa as well as the deep agony and despair it has inflicted. I tell stories to fulfill an ongoing mission to inform, educate, and entertain people from all walks of life. Read More Read Less
